The TIMESERIES Procedure

OUTTREND= Data Set

The OUTTREND= data set contains the variables specified in the BY statement as well as the variables listed below. The OUTTREND= data set records the trend statistics for each variable specified in a VAR statement (not the CROSSVAR statement).

When the TREND statement TRANSPOSE=NO option is omitted or explicitly specified, the variable names are related to trend statistics specified in the TREND statement and the variable values are related to the INTERVAL= option in the ID statement or the SEASONALITY= option in the PROC TIMESERIES statement.

_NAME_

_TIMEID_

time ID values

_SEASON_

seasonal index

NOBS

number of observations

N

number of nonmissing observations

When the TREND statement TRANSPOSE=YES option is specified, the variable values related to trend statistics specified in the TREND statement and the variable names are related to the INTERVAL= option in the ID statement, the SEASONALITY= option in the PROC TIMESERIES statement, or the NPERIODS= option in the TREND statement. The following variables are written to the OUTTREND= data set:

_NAME_

variable name

_STAT_
